Speed Runs

Speed running (trying to complete a videogame in the fastest time possible) is almost as old as gaming itself. At least, it's almost as old as games that have a definite end point or staging points, since speedrunning a game with infinitely repeating levels is Sisyphean.

Speed run of Super Mario Bros. done on October 9 2004. Available in normal and high quality. Author's comments: This is the cleanest, best looking SMB run I've done, although some levels can be finished slightly faster with better tactics so I estimate that I could do better by five to seven tenths overall. Easily the best part is in 8-3 with the Hammer Bros (I was very surprised I didn't die). Enjoy :)

Speed run of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in 37 segments, completed on May 13 2005. Available in low and normal quality. Author's comments: Credits first - I referred quite a lot to Tirdun's walkthough from gamefaqs, and also used the Java San Andreas Map a lot to locate weapons/armour. Notes/Missions in each part: Part 1 (Big Smoke, Sweet & Kendl, Ryder, Tagging Up Turf, Cleaning The Hood, Drive-Thru, Nines and AKs, Drive-By, Sweet's Girl) - This could definitely be improved on.

Single-segment speed run of Contra: Shattered Soldier with 100% hit rate in all stages (S rank), done on October 26 2004. Available in three versions: low quality, normal quality, and 60 fps high quality. Author's comments: My first non-Mega Man X speed run! Hopefully you will like it. I know there are two other Contra: Shattered Soldier S-rank videos out there, but neither one of them seemed to be aiming for speed. The main reason why both runs (Psyrell's and Rouven's) are slower is because...

Author's comments: I entered into this game expecting around 10 hours to speedrun. A lot more battles were also expected, which is why such heavy preparation was put into the first disc.

Some comments (aka. "novel" :P) from the author The movie is 301,102 frames (83:38 minutes) long, however the last minute was used to trigger a little easteregg. The last hit on Bowser takes place after 297,736 frames (82:42 minutes), so this is the actual time of completion. As the movie is so long, and even watching it in turbo mode still takes some time, I created a few savegames throughout the movie, which you can load if you watch the movie with "Open Read-Only"...

Single-segment proper 70-star speed run of Super Mario 64, done on June 24 2004. Author's comments: This is a traditional speed run of Super Mario 64. I collected the bare minimum of stars required to beat the game - 70 - WITHOUT ridiculous glitches that involve warping through doors. I use a variety of tricks and routes not used or known by the casual player to earn the world record. I would like to thank my best friend and partner in crime Cyberwrath (Brad Cutler) because without him I would...

Speed urn of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in 4 segments completed on July 31 2005. Quality note: sound is slightly distorted. Author's comments: There is only one huge mistake in this run and it's 2/3 of the way through the game. While I'm trying to get ingredients for Snape, I tried to shoot this thing from afar and missed several times. This worked in practice, but oh well. I did not practice each segment a lot because I figured the game was easy anyway and since the puzzles are easy...

Speed run of Mega Man X8 with 100% completion in 27 segments, completed on March 7 2005.

Speed run of Star Ocean: Till the End of Time in 28 segments completed on June 7 2005. Available in three versions: low quality, normal quality, and 60fps high quality.

I managed to pull it off quite a bit below that (thankfully) and wound up with a time of 4:11 when Luther drops. Skipping all the cutscenes makes all the difference. One of the main concerns I had with this run was money. Toward...
